Hi Sheila According to GenesReunited, there aren't any, they were destroyed in the Irish Civil War in 1922. If you go to the homepage and look under Getting Started, there is a section on census returns and where to find them. This is what it says about Irish census returns: "Those for Ireland only survive for 1901 and 1911 and are at the National Archives, Dublin, with copies at the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland" Sam

There are quite a few that have survived but they are pretty erratic. You can find some here and it is helpful if you know what area your looking for. http://www.genealogybranches.*com/irishcensus.html Christine

Shelia You might also find the following webiste of use (remove the brackets) however sometimes the information is a bit hit and miss . You will also need to know the county in order to perform the searches. http://www(.)censusfinder(.)com/ireland(.)htm With kind regards Karen
